Hello, I’m Jacqueline (Jacquie/Jax)
I am a licensed psychotherapist specializing in healing early childhood and relationship wounds that can lead to anxiety in relationships, fear of abandonment, self-abandonment, people-pleasing, difficulty feeling secure or lovable, and struggles with self-worth and confidence.
I am also a clinical nutritionist and writer. I understand that the human experience can be raw, messy, unpredictable, and deeply painful—and yet also interwoven with beauty, joy, and love. I have faced loss, heartbreak, divorce, and the passing of a parent, and have worked hard to integrate these experiences into a deeper understanding of myself.
I believe that deep suffering is often a message from the psyche seeking understanding and integration. From a Jungian perspective, much of this material lives in the unconscious—expressing itself through patterns, emotions, and the body.
Much of this suffering is also rooted in early attachment experiences, shaping our nervous system, relationships, and sense of self. In our work together, we bring gentle awareness to these patterns so they can be felt, understood, and transformed.
Embodied experience is central: the unconscious is not only something we think about—it is something we feel and carry. Within the safety of the therapeutic relationship, we gently explore these patterns as they arise, allowing for new relational experiences. Through presence and attunement, what has been split off can gradually reintegrate.
Healing and individuation unfold over time—through cycles of grief, growth, and renewal, including mourning what was lost and releasing identities that no longer reflect who you are becoming.
I am drawn to the symbol of the arrow, pointing toward truth, clarity, and inner alignment. It invites the courage to face difficulty without abandoning yourself, to transform suffering into meaning, and to reconnect with your inner authority—the Self you’ve been seeking.
Because so many of our wounds are created within relationships, healing also happens through relationship. Therapy offers a space to experience safety, connection, attunement, and acceptance in new ways—allowing old patterns to soften and a more secure relationship with yourself and others to emerge.
